This specific trim has been known for using huge amounts of chrome and its latest iteration has taken it to a new level.

However, there are a few silvery accents such as piping on the uphostery and pinstripes within the wood trim. Also, expect to see wooden sliding doors covering the infotainment compartment within the center console.
